Fishing and Catching Fish.
American Agriculturist

The ar5icle, First Days Fishing" in
the May number of the American Agri-
culturist hit me just where my memory
is the longest. 1t recalls the time, over
sixty years ago, when my clothes were
wet, stone bruise on my heel and a toe
nail stubbed off, had just such an old
crooked fish-pole. / then cut my fish
poles in the woods, and no one that has
never tried it has any idea what job it
is to get straight enc. A sapling looks
straight; you cut it down and trim it.
Then there are so many crooks in it that
you reject it, and cut several more be-
fore you get one to suit Any one who
ever cut fish-poles knows how it is. The
boy asked what was the difference be-
tween going for fish and going fishing.
His father said to catch fish was to get
few scaly things not worth much, but
going fishing was quite another thing. 1t
included the sunshine and the birds, and
the murmnr of the brooks, aud many
other things. That father was like thou
sands of others who go fishing and bring
home memories of pleasant hours of the,
murmuring waters and sunshine and
birds. But a look in the basket may re-
veal no fish there, unless the fisher has
met some boy on the stream who did not
know or care whether thsre were any
birds OF sunshine that day or not 40 that
he got the fish and sold them to the fell
low that was seeing everything else ex-
cept favorable hole to cast his line
Now l don't say l never see anything
while am fishing. do as much looking
about as any man when / am not fishing.
But when l am fishing do nothing else.
If the fish don't bite l am wondering if
my bait is all right, and don't go long
without bite before look at my bait
and make some change in it. If nothing
more, take it off and put it on again.
Then jerk it little faster or a little
slower and let it sink to the bottom, let
it lie a minute, then give it sharp jerk,
and if there is no bite change places or
let out the line and get the bait farther
away from me. If lily fishing ! have a
number of motions to give the fly. Some
times one motion will coax the fly fish to
bite and sometimes another. But l am
fishing all the time.

Orders to the extent of from E25,000
100000 for woolens have been taken in
this country by Peter White, who repre-
sents certain Irish manufacturers. The
goods are of very coarse character, as
the climate Is particularly adapted for
the growth of long wool which is required
for the coarse fabric.
The facilities of the manufacturers are
limited, and there are not over half a
dozen welle quipped mills in all Ireland.
There are some mills here and there, but
the owners are all men of small means.
and consequently do their work in a
small way and can not introduce their
goods for lack of capital. There are
several mills that make goods of excel
lent quality, and these goods have been
taken by English merchant in the past
and sold as English goods, thus robbing
the Irish woods of the reputation they
deserve.
Mr.. Whites purpose is to nationalize
their goods and help the Irish manufac-
turer and people TO employment. Ia the
hope to foster the Irish industries and TO
convince the American public of the ex-
cellence of Irish goods, 100000 was sub
scribed and limited company formed
styled the Irish Export Company, and it
was in the interest of this company that
Mr.. White came to America.
These goods do not compare with
American goods in finish, as the are much
coarser. All considerations of the tariff
Notwithstanding, the American goods of
the same grade can be manufacturedsand
placed on the markei from 20 to - per
cent. cheaper than the Irish. The face of
the American goods is much finer than
the Irish, the latter filling a place for
coarse and strong fabric. Notwithstand-
ing all arguments to the contrary, the
Irish goods are well made and durable,
and all rumors as to hair and from other
domestic animals entering into the manu-
facture of this article, are false. The
leading difficulty which tends TO restrict
the sale of these goods in this country
is the difficulty in weaving the goods in
TO a Fight fabric for summer wear, the
trouble being that in attempting to make
the goods fine they are rendered why.
The amount sold in Boston by Mr.. White
in understood to be small ON this trip.
Chicago was perhaps the chief buyer.

IT HAS COLLAPSED.
The San Francisco Bull Wheat Deal
A Compromise Prevents any Very
Disastrous Results.
The shorts as Badly Scared as the
"LOngs'-The Heaviest Losses
Fall Upon Two or Three
Large Firms.

SAN FRANCIsoo, Cal, Aug. 3.-The big
deal in wheat collapsed here to-day.
There have been mutterings of trouble
for several days and the outcome was not
entirely unexpected. The top prices
were reached last Monday, when the bulls
offered $2.174 per GENITAL for wheat.
Yesterday the market dropped to $2.14.
This made the price 21s cents pound in
San Francisco, against ! IL cents in Chi
cago, i Il in New York, and / 610 in
Liverpool. The collapse of the deal was
not attended by the usual excitement.
All the sessions of the call board were ad-
journed under the resolution adopted by
the board of directors, and posted on the
doors of the exchange. The reason given
was the desire TO avert the threatened
panic. This step was not altogether an
expected and feeling of relief was ex-
perienced by both parties, who have been
strained to theit utmost during the past
few days. No failures were reported up
to late hour this afternoon and it is be.
lieved all the deals will be compromised
so as to avoid any disasters on the street.
Two of the Jhief bull traders we're Will
lam Dressbach, and John Resented, but
the theory is accepted they represented
other interests. They are known to be
responsible for 10000 tons of wheat held
under the various options for delivery
during this year. The total amount of
wheat the "longs" have been shouldering
is variously computed. II is stated, how
ever, that it has required $l9,000,000 to
carry the grain already at Liverpool, and
on the way, together with great quaint
ties in store in the warehouses in this
city.
The local banks pursued couserva-
tive course in the matter and steadily re-
fused to interfere, content to loan their
customers money at regular rates. Col
lateral put up by the ring for the ad
vances has been mostly certificates of
wheat on hand and the interesting ques-
ton of the future will be the ownership
of one-half of the hypothecated stock.
The action taken by the board of direct
ors in stopping all the board sessions is
deemed very remarkable, bot that It
averted panic is conceded. The Dres-
bachs' proposition was accepted this
afternoon and the virtual result is that
the spectators and brokers, shorts lu-
cluded, have agreed to keep their hands
off the market for the present. Both
bulls and bears backed down. The money
squeezed out of the shorts on the mar
gins will he refunded and they will lose
nothing. On the other hand, the ring
wheat has substantially cost over $1.65
and they will lose the difference between
that and the actual market price and the
fulfllment of the giant scheme to corner
the market. Drcsbach had the shorts so
badly scared that they were willing to
get out without making anything, making
the outcome one of the most remarkable
on record. Many of the "shorts" came
out ahead on the settlement, .ut apart
from the loss inflicted on tho bull cliqpe
proper, no firm losses are mentioned in
excess of 100000.

Alfred Krupp, the famous German met
al founder and manufacturer of steel
cannon who died in his villa near Essen,
in Renish Prussia, was born in 1872.
His father founded the steel works at
Essa sixty years ago on very small
scale, employing only two workmen.
Alfred, after the works came in his poses
sion, discovered a method of casting
steel in large masses. In 1851 he sent to
the London exhibition a crucible block
of steel weighing 2ll tons, and to the
Paris exhibition of 1867 one of 40 tons.
His works became the largest in the
world. They cover about one thousand
acres. Twelve thousand men are en-
ployed there, making with those in the
mines, smelling works, and other depart
ments of the business, total nearly of
twenty thousand men in the employ of
the manufacturer. Krupp was a kind
master. He built good dwelling houses
for his men, pensioned mis- old employees,
and established hospitals and a system
of free medical attendance. Besides
cast steel he manufactured machinery
and furnished steel articles of all kinds.
He began making cannon in 1916, and it
is a manufacturer of cannon that he is
chiefly known. He first manufactured
only small field pieces, but tho terrible
execution done by his siege guns at the
siege OF Paris brought him orders for
cam On from all parts of the world. He
shared the hatred of his countrymen for
France, however, and would sell no can
mons to that country. Some of his pro-
cesses in the manufacture of steel and
cannon making were kept profound Sc
crets, and the commission appointed by
our government few years ago to study
foreign gun foundries we're refused per-
mission by KrupP to visit his works.
hrupp accepted the title of privy com
mercial councillor, but in 1864 he declin-
ed patents of nobility.
